Case Study: GR01

Location: Whangamata

Cows: -

Brief/Description:

• Required pump to irrigate through existing Williams Spider Deluxe travelling irrigator from 2 pond system.
• Currently using contractors to empty the ponds which was proving to be costly and inefficient.
• Had tried small petrol/electric pumps in the past.
• Ponds approximately 150m from closest 3 phase power source.

Solution:

Given distance to power & having two individual ponds to pump from it was decided a PTO pump would be the best option. PTO pump can be easily moved between ponds & second outlet provides option to recirculate effluent for localised stirring of ponds while pumping. Pump sized to cater for undulating property and the likelihood of mainline extension in the future.
